Senator McCain on Morning Joe- McCain “We Won Iraq, Obama Lost It”

The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein questioned McCain on the definition of “victory” and said he was confused by what McCain was attempting to convey.

“I think you are confused because you didn’t know what happened with the surge where we basically had the country pacified. We had a stable government in Baghdad and we the conflict basically won,” McCain replied. “We’ve still got troops in Bosnia. A residual force would have stabilized the country. Military experts will tell you that. So, I’m sorry about your confusion, but the facts on the ground were that Al Qaeda had been defeated almost completely.”
